Need help with a quilt pattern please.
Hello all. I am new to quilting and I jumped in and decided to try a pattern. I bought the simplicity 2493 pattern. I want to make the turtle rag quilt for my nephew. Anyways I took forever tracing the pattern onto cardboard and cutting it out (so that I can re use the pattern). That killed my hands by the way lol. But my issue is with figuring out how to go about with the fabric. I bought all the flannel needed, and then I got this super soft fuzzy stuff that I want to use as the backing. I dont want to cut all the flannel according to the pattern and then have extra. So would I cut half the recommended amount of each piece using the flannel and then the other half of the pieces cut from the fluffy backing I plan on using? I hope that makes sense to you all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
